A description of this novel apparatus

"The other day, when I was out In

five hundred people, asked the hotel
proprietor if there was any place where

The association of ideas between Bro.
Browns godliness and his tendency ''to talk
proc an poetry did not strike my mother
with clearness, but she covered her obtuseness
by discreet silence, and proceeded to be-
stow upon Mrs Hudson fan, some lace and

The house, which, according to Mrs.
Hudsons phraseology, was Just IN mol
lern' distance from ours, was one OF the
largest in that part of the country, and was
fashioned entirely Of logs.
A wide hall or open space (for there were
no doors at either front or back ran through
its centre and upon each side Of this opened
two rooms.
Kettles of blazing pine knots placed on
high stools at each end of the hall furnished
its illumination, and a sleepy fiddler sat at
one side discoursing drowsy music from
violin.

LOSS AND GAIN
KATE PUTNAM osGooD.

If the June rose could guess
Before the sunbeam wooed her from the bud,
And Redeemed into life her faint young blood,
What blight should fall upon her loneliness,
What darkness of decay, what shroud OF
snow
Would the rose ever blow?
fthe wild lark could feel
When first betReen two worlds he caroied
clear,
voicing the eestacy of either sphere,
What apathy of song should DER him steal,
What broken accents and what falterlng
wing
Would the lark ever sing?
Alas, and yet alas,
For glory of existence that shall pass
For pride of beauty and for strength OF song !
Yet were the untried life deeper wrong.
Better single throb of being win,
Than never to have been!

Colds Taken in Cars.

In these days when travel by railroad is
very common, few words on the best
means to prevent taking colds in the cars
will be useful. For men light cap, one
that will cover the ears, so as to serve as
night-cap, will be desirable In cold weather
a wooden cap is best This cap should be put
on as soon as the carts entered. A loose blouse
should take the place of the coat usually
worn. Slippers must hot be worn. If there
be draught in the car, face it do not let it
strike the back Have the bed made with
its head toward the engine; the dust will
then be driven to the foot. where it will do
the least harm. But be sure to have suf-
ticient quantity of bedclothes to keep warm.
A soft. loose-knit wooden hood is the best
head-wear for women; this should be worn
at night also. 1t should be warmer in winter

A call to supper broke suddenly upon my
reflections as to the peculiar spiritual atu-

look about for Nanny Jane" my colored
guardian. Malviny was placed at the
right hand of the bride and groom at the
table and at the left, and we were the only
children permitted to be present.
When the guests were all stationed IN
their proper places the bridal party burst
